Round and Round

As sung by Ratt

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Another day, some other way
We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
I've had enough, we've had enough
Cold in vain, she said

(Pre-chorus)

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why

Dig

Lookin' at you, lookin' at me
The way you move, you know it's easy to see
The neon light's on me tonight
I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo to Juliet
Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Yeah!

Solo

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time, time, time, time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, why, why, why
Round and round




Karma- what goes around, comes around

What is kismet?

I remembered the song a few weeks ago when I was talking to the paradox about our new nicknames. Tonight as I look at the words I can't help thinking that it's about a heroin addict. That reminds me of the first conversation that Joey and I had when he got out of prison. He told me then that he was a junkie. He spoke of a lot of scary things at that time.

Gosh, I feel so far removed from the woman that I was then. I don't recognize myself any more. I received a letter from him just a few days ago and he spoke of wanting to call me. I'm thankful that he hasn't. I want to leave those days behind me.

Things are looking up for me at work. Apparently I'm the flavor of the month with in the special ed arena in this county. I really don't like being in this position. I'd rather lay low. But I'm so frustrated with how far behind this county is in special education. I've literally stepped back in time. But I've stepped back in time in reference to the attitudes and preconceived notions of those around me, too. I keep thinking I've stepped through the looking glass.

The special ed supervisor is sending me fresh meat. I've got a teacher coming to visit my room to show her how to set up a CDC classroom and teach her how to do portfolios. What? The principal is also giving me half a day during the summer to educate the teachers in how to do a portfolio. Oh my, God. I'm going to need a lot of prayer for this.

I'm making friends slowly at school. Sometimes I feel like my assistants are competing with me. I can't understand that. Why can't they just go with the flow? Lakale's assistant, Jane, says she's noticed how they react to the kids- especially, Jennifer.

I'm getting to know people at church but I'm still getting wierd vibes from the deacon. Can't read him. He contradicts himself a lot. But he has put me in a slot to do something for the church. I'm helping count the weekly contribution. Next month I become part of their rotation.

I still don't have a friend to do things with. I really miss my recovery buddies. But I was affected by their behavior too much to go back to that. Wish the paradox lived closer or would bend a little bit more. I'm not looking for anything he's unwilling to give. Just would like someone to talk to every once in a while. I used to live on the phone with Mac. I miss that kind of thing.
